RAIN!

For some places around the world, getting excited about rain is something you just don't do. The people in West Tennessee are usually the same way except between July and August. West Tennessee usually gets enough rain to make the farmers happy and to keep the grass green. This this is an exception. Parts have not seen measurable rain in nearly a month. Very unusual for the first part of summer. Take in to account that we have had two weeks of temperatures hovering near and over 100 degrees with as little as 25% humidity. It is so dry that my yard crunches under my feet.

Last night at about 10 o'clock it rained. It was a measurable rain, too. There was still (some) water standing when I got up  this morning. There are chances of rain for the next few days with thunderstorms likely tomorrow. We'll take the rain as long as the storms don't get too bad. We don't need a bush fire started by lightning strikes.

Let it rain...again! Please!
